Hand Therapy
for Athletes
From professional sportspeople to club-level competitors and recreational athletes. If a hand, wrist, elbow or shoulder injury is keeping you from your sport, Ms Razo specialises in getting you back.
Treating athletes
at every level
Upper limb injuries are among the most common in sport. Whether it is a golfer with elbow pain, a rugby player with a hand fracture or a cyclist with persistent wrist problems, the demands of sport require a clinician who understands how injury affects performance and what it takes to return to it safely.
Ms Razo is a Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) with extensive experience treating athletes across a wide range of sports and levels, from professional and elite performers to club athletes and recreational players. Teams, clubs, coaches, GPs and other healthcare professionals refer athletes to her regularly.
Ms Razo treats athletes across all sports involving the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder. If your sport is not listed, get in touch to discuss whether she can help.
Back to training.
Back to competition.
Ms Razo's approach to athlete rehabilitation is built around one goal: a safe, timely return to full sport. Every element of treatment is designed with that outcome in mind.
Ms Razo takes time to understand the demands of your sport, your position or discipline and your training load. The assessment is built around what your body needs to do, not just the presenting injury.
Ms Razo was a featured presenter at the 2025 International Hand & Wrist Congress and Hand Therapy Symposium in Dubai, delivering presentations on nerve entrapment in athletes and medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow) to an international audience of Hand Therapists and surgeons. Her clinical expertise in sports upper limb conditions is recognised at the highest level.
Getting back to training and competition safely is the goal. Ms Razo designs structured return-to-sport programmes that progress in line with healing, sport demands and upcoming fixtures or competition dates.
Where X-ray, MRI, ultrasound or CT is required, Ms Razo can arrange referrals to private imaging centres with appointments often available within 24 to 48 hours, keeping your diagnosis and treatment on track.
Custom splints and supportive orthoses can allow athletes to continue training or competing while protecting an injured structure. Ms Razo fabricates and fits custom thermoplastic splints as part of a broader rehabilitation plan.
Appointments are available in clinic, via secure video or as a home visit. Virtual appointments are particularly well suited to athletes who are travelling, in camp or away from Belfast for extended periods.

Ms Razo works with athletes referred by sports teams, clubs, coaches, physiotherapists and doctors who recognise the value of specialist upper limb expertise. Athletes also come directly having sought out specialist care for a persistent or complex injury that has not responded to more general treatment.
If you are a physiotherapist, sports medicine doctor or club medic looking to refer an athlete, please contact the clinic directly. Fast appointments and clear communication throughout the rehabilitation process are central to how Ms Razo works with referring professionals.
